00:00 When someone who does not want to produce a kid tells of her decision to her parents,
00:06 they say, but you know, your baby is after all your own.
00:09 If you will adopt a baby, it won't be the same thing.
00:12 And if you question the parents, why is an adopted baby not the same as my own baby?
00:20 They will not know the answer.
00:21 They will not know the answer because they have not studied evolutionary biology.
00:26 The answer is simple, your baby does not carry your DNA.
00:30 And the entire thing about reproduction is the furtherance of your own DNA.
00:34 That's what the animal inside us wants.
00:37 My DNA should continue.
00:38 My DNA should continue.
00:39 So now you know why when you propose adoption as a substitute to reproduction, people don't
00:46 find that very appealing.
